Authority This document has been prepared in accordance with the obligation of Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd. (SCA Pty Ltd.) as Trustee for Sunshine Coast Airport Trust under Civil Aviation Safety Regulations Part 139.B and in particular 139.050 and 139.095 and the Manual of Standards Part 139. The Aerodrome Manual contains details of essential operating procedures that may not necessarily be safety related but are nevertheless required to satisfy the conditions of Sunshine Coast Airport’s aerodrome certificate, other legal requirements and common law obligations of operating the aerodrome. The Aerodrome Manual has been structured to allow existing documents such as the Airport Emergency Plan, Airside Drivers Handbook, Disabled Aircraft Recovery Strategy Plan and the Transport Security Program to be directly referenced. Each of these documents will continue to be amended and published separately but should be regarded as part of the Aerodrome Manual and should be read in conjunction with the Aerodrome Manual. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority requires SCA Pty Ltd. to operate and maintain Sunshine Coast Airport in accordance with the procedures set out in this Aerodrome Manual. All employees of Sunshine Coast Airport are required to comply with the procedures in this Manual. The documented procedures in this Aerodrome Manual are an accurate reflection of both current and best practices. This Aerodrome Manual will be amended as and when necessary to reflect changing standards, operational practices, airport facilities or personnel. The aerodrome manual will be amended from time to time to reflect changes in relevant operations and will be renewed annually. Andrew Brodie Chief Executive Officer March 2019

Definitions 21

Definitions

Aerodrome A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations, and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft.

Aerodrome elevation The elevation of the highest point of the landing area.

Aerodrome reference point The designated geographical location of an aerodrome.

Aerodrome reference temperature

The monthly mean of the maximum daily temperature for the hottest month of the year (the hottest month being that which has the highest monthly mean temperature.)

Aerodrome works Construction or maintenance works carried out at an aerodrome, on or adjacent to the movement area, that may create obstacles or restrict the normal take-off and landing of aircraft.

Aeronautical beacon An aeronautical ground light visible at all azimuths, either continuously or intermittently, to designate a particular point on the surface of the earth.

Aeronautical study An investigation of a problem concerned with some phase of flight and aimed at identifying possible solutions and selecting the one most acceptable from the point of view of flight safety.

Aeroplane reference field length The minimum field length required for take-off at maximum certificated take-off mass, sea level, standard atmospheric conditions, still air and zero runway slope, as shown in the appropriate aeroplane flight manual prescribed by the certificating authority or equivalent data from the aeroplane manufacturer. Field length means balanced field length for aeroplanes, if applicable, or take-off distance in other cases.

Aircraft classification number (ACN)

A number expressing the relative effect of an aircraft on a pavement for a specified standard subgrade category.

Aircraft parking position A designated area on an apron intended to be used for parking an aircraft. Also known as an aircraft stand.

Airside The movement area of an aerodrome, adjacent terrain and buildings or portions thereof, access of which is controlled.

Apron A defined area on a land aerodrome intended to accommodate aircraft for the purposes of loading or unloading passengers, mail or cargo, fuelling, parking, or maintenance.

Balanced field length A field length where the distance to accelerate and stop is equal to the take-off distance of an aeroplane experiencing an engine failure at the critical engine failure recognition speed (V1).

Capacity discharge light A lamp in which high-intensity flashes of extremely short duration are produced by the discharge of electricity at high voltage through a gas enclosed in a tube.

Clearway A defined area at the end of the take-off run available on the ground or water under the control of the aerodrome operator, selected or prepared as a suitable area over which an aeroplane may make a portion of its initial climb to a specified height.



Version: 1.4

Definitions 22

Critical aeroplane The aeroplane or aeroplanes identified from among the aeroplanes the aerodrome is intended to serve as having the most demanding operational requirements with respect to the determination of movement area dimensions, pavement bearing strength and other physical characteristics in the design of aerodromes.

Critical obstacle The obstacle within the take-off climb area and/or the approach area, which subtends the greatest vertical angle when measured from the inner edge of the take-off climb surface and/or the approach surface.

Declared distances 1. Take-off run available (TORA). The length of runway declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane taking off. 2. Take-off distances available (TODA). The length of the take-off run available plus the length of the clearway, if provided. 3. Accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA). The length of the take-off run available plus the length of the stopway, if provided. 4. Landing distance available (LDA).

Part 2 Section 5 Unauthorised Entry to Aerodrome Introduction

SCA Pty Ltd. is obligated to develop and maintain a Transport Security Program (TSP) under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 and the Aviation Transport Regulations 2005. The airport has been declared a security controlled airport and is regulated by the Department of Infrastructure. Access from landside to airside of the airport is strictly controlled and airline staff escort passengers to and from Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) aircraft.

Particulars of the procedures for preventing the unauthorised entry of persons, vehicles, equipment, plant or animals, or other things that may endanger aircraft safety, into the movement area, including details of the following:

(i) the arrangements for controlling airside access

• No persons are permitted airside without lawful excuse. • The RPT apron and other restricted areas can only be accessed by persons holding a

valid aviation security identification card (ASIC) or accompanied and escorted by a person holding an ASIC and be issued with a visitor identification card (VIC).

• The airport perimeter is fenced with a 2.1m to 2.4m high security fence for its entire

length. The CBS area has a colour bond fencing as a physical barrier to prevent unauthorised access airside, and is colour bond to minimise passenger sighting of the CBS process. A risk assessment has been undertaken prior to installation of the colour bond fencing.

• All access points are locked with keys, proximity cards or chains and padlocks. • “Security Restricted Area” and "Airside Area" signs are placed at all points of entry to

the airside. • On the perimeter fence, “Airside Area” signs are placed at regular intervals. • Vehicle access airside is controlled through the provisions of the Airside Vehicle Control

Handbook.

Note: More specific information is located in the Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd. TSP. The TSP has a restricted circulation.

Airport fixed base operators can have vehicular access on a limited basis by application for an access key to the General Manager Operations & Assets or his delegate. The General Manager Operations & Assets or his delegate vets applicants before any access key is issued. Individual aircraft operators do not have vehicular access to the airport “airside” unless they have a contractual lease arrangement with Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd. for hangar facilities, or similar, at Sunshine Coast Airport.



Version: 1.4


The Airport Safety Officer monitors airport vehicular and pedestrian access and general security whilst on duty. RPT, charter and private aircraft operators are responsible for controlling access of passengers to and from their aircraft. The Office of Transport Security conducts audits and inspections.

(ii) the names and roles of the persons who are responsible for controlling access to the movement area and the telephone numbers for contacting them during and after working hours

The General Manager Operations & Assets, Airfield Manager and Airport Safety Officers are primarily responsible for controlling access to the movement area.

Part 2 Section 6 Aerodrome Serviceability Inspections

Particulars of the procedures for carrying out aerodrome serviceability inspections, including details of the following:


• Ensuring the ASO’s are trained to conduct serviceability inspections;

• Arranging for supplementary technical inspections, if required.

The Supervisor Operations is responsible for:

• ensuring that the airport safety officers perform their duties in accordance with the requirements of the Aerodrome manual

• ensuring all persons with responsibility for safety and operational functions have current and up to date licences and authorisations to undertake those functions as required by CASR 139.140 and MOS Part 139, 10.1.3

• ensuring all persons with responsibility for safety and operational functions have access to sufficient resources to effectively meet the requirements of the roles

• ensuring daily serviceability inspections are undertaken by suitably qualified and experienced persons


• conducting daily serviceability inspections;

• recording the results of inspection in the Daily Serviceability Checklists;

• arranging any NOTAM, if required following inspections;

• reporting outcomes of inspection to outside organisations, if required;

• Arranging for immediate remediation of any unserviceable facilities found during the daily serviceability inspections.

(i) the arrangements for carrying out the inspections during and after working hours

The person responsible for conducting the serviceability inspection is the Airport Safety Officer (ASO). There are several trained Airport Safety Officers who meet the standards as required in MOS Part 139. All inspections are in accordance with the requirements of MOS Part 139.

An airport management representative is on call 24 hours per day and will respond to any incidents reported.

(ii) details of the intervals at which the inspections are carried out and the times of the inspections

Aerodrome serviceability inspections are carried out:



Version: 1.4


• as practicable before the first RPT operation each day of the week or at the normal commencement of duty of the ASO whichever occurs first;

• after unusual weather phenomena, such as heavy rainfall or severe storms etc;

• additional inspections may be carried out following requests from Air Traffic Services (ATS), Airlines or the District Aerodrome Inspector (DAI).

The standard form used is at Appendix 1.

(iii) the arrangements for keeping an inspection log and the place where it is kept The Daily Serviceability Checklist is used and maintained by the Airport Safety Officer. The checklist is kept in the Airport Safety Officer’s office. Any activity requiring reporting is reported to the Airfield Manager who may escalate the matter to the General Manager Operations & Assets for review if required and endorsement and returned to ASO office for filing. The information contained in the Daily Serviceability Checklist includes: (a) The facilities inspected; (b) Weather details at the beginning of shift and any significant changes in weather such

as heavy rain, high winds or reduced visibility; (c) Bird strikes or any other unusual occurrence, e.g. unauthorised movement of persons,

vehicles or plant on the movement area, aircraft incidents or accidents, etc; (d) Location of substandard conditions that require attention, and a note of action taken; (e) Objects including bird and animal remains found on the movement area; (f) New obstacles detected; (g) Any problems with runway, taxiway and apron surfaces; Unserviceability or any other condition of concern that has been detected is noted on the Daily Serviceability Checklist with a description of the action taken. The Airport Safety Officer is required to sign the Daily Serviceability Checklist after each inspection. Daily Serviceability Checklists records are maintained by the Airfield Manager for at least seven years.

(iv) details of the inspection checklist

Airport Safety Officers inspect airport lighting equipment for lamp outages, broken light filters, damaged fittings and any other problem. Test the PAL /AFRU and ensure that it switches airport lighting equipment “ON”, and cycle time including flashing lights. The Sunshine Coast Airport Daily Serviceability Inspection Checklist is at Appendix 1.



Version: 1.4


(v) the arrangements for communicating with air traffic control during the inspections

Sunshine Coast Airport is an Air Traffic Controlled airport generally between the hours of 07:30 and 19:40 daily, although these times can change with short notice. During inspections when the Tower is operating, the Airport Safety Officer communicates with the Sunshine Coast Tower on 124.4 Mhz. Outside of Tower hours a radio listening watch is kept on Sunshine Coast Aerodrome CTAF-R 124.4 Mhz. Brisbane ATS can be contacted by Radio (Frequency 129.0 Mhz) on the ground outside of Tower hours or by telephone. The Airport Safety Officers, Airfield Manager and the General Manager Operations & Assets hold an Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate issued by CASA. Sunshine Coast Airport has an Aerodrome Frequency Response Unit (AFRU) plus Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL) in operation outside of Tower hours to advise pilots that their radios are working on the correct frequency. The features of the unit are as follows: (a) When the aerodrome traffic frequency has not been used for the past five (5) minutes,

the next transmission over three (3) seconds in length will cause a voice identification message to be transmitted in response, i.e. “SUNSHINE COAST AERODROME”.

(b) When the airport traffic frequency has been used within the previous five (5) minutes,

a 300 millisecond tone (an audible “beep”) will be generated after each transmission over three (3) seconds in length.

(c) A series of three microphone clicks within a period of three seconds will activate the

airport lighting. (d) In the event that the transmitter in the frequency response unit becomes jammed for a

period of greater than one minute, the unit will automatically shut down.

(vi) the arrangements for reporting the results of the inspections and for taking prompt follow-up action to ensure correction of unsafe conditions

Whenever a hazardous condition occurs at the airport, the Airport Safety Officer is required to take appropriate action including closing the affected area of the airport, if required and setting out the appropriate markers as detailed in MOS Part 139 – Aerodromes. The Airport Safety Officer will arrange follow-up action or remedial works as a result of the inspection. These works are to be effected immediately, if required, or as soon as is practical for works not impacting aircraft safety. Reporting the results of the inspection when reporting to outside organisations will be in accordance with Section 4 of this Aerodrome Manual. If the inspection reveals a major defect in the pavements and/or drainage, this will be reported to the General Manager Operations & Assets who may instigate a Technical Inspection by a technically competent person.



Version: 1.4


Similarly, the Airport Safety Officer is required to advise the General Manager Operations & Assets of any maintenance work considered necessary to avoid a potentially hazardous condition developing.



Version: 1.4


(vii) the names and roles of the persons who are responsible for carrying out the inspections and the telephone numbers for contacting them during and after working hours The General Manager Operations & Assets ensures that Serviceability Inspections are conducted. The Airfield Manager ensures that the inspections are carried out to the appropriate standard and the Airport Safety Officers are responsible for conducting serviceability inspections. The contact telephone numbers of the General Manager Operations & Assets, Airfield Manager and Airport Safety Officers are contained in the Master Contact List in the Introduction Section of this Manual.

Part 2 Section 8 AERODROME WORKS SAFETY

Aerodrome Works means: Construction or maintenance works carried out at an aerodrome, on or adjacent to the movement area, that may create obstacles or restrict the normal take-off and landing of aircraft. Installation of new facilities and maintenance of existing facilities will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of MOS Part 139. All aerodrome works will be carried out in accordance with MOS Part 139.

• NOTAMs will be issued not less than 48 hours before commencement of aerodrome works under a Method of Working Plan (MOWP) or 24 hours for time limited works.

• Duties of the Works Safety Officer (WSO) will be in accordance with MOS Part 139, Section 10.12.

Works can be carried out on the following basis:

• Time limited works. Where aircraft operations are not disrupted, and the operational

serviceability of the Airport can be restored within 30 minutes, (NOTAM is required if recall is greater than 10 minutes).

• Method of Working Plans. The Airport operator must not carry out works other than time limited works without a Method of Working Plan unless the Airport has been closed for the works or the works are defined as ‘unscheduled’ or emergency works, or the works do not impact the operations of the aerodrome in accordance with MOS 139.

Works within runway strips will be conducted in accordance with the requirements in MOS Part 139, Section 10.10.12.

Particulars of the procedures for planning and safely carrying out aerodrome works (including works that may have to be carried out at short notice), including details of the following:

(i) the preparation of a method-of-working plan identifying areas of the aerodrome affected during each stage of the work and steps taken to ensure safety standards are met

The person responsible for planning and executing aerodrome works is the General Manager Operations & Assets or his delegate and/or the Airfield Manager/Airport Safety Officers who will ensure that the aerodrome works do not create a hazard to aircraft.

The General Manager Operations & Assets will appoint the Airport Safety Officers as Works Safety Officers in accordance with MOS Part 139, Section 10.10.7 and will ensure that they are trained to undertake the functions as described in MOS Part 139, Section 10.12. The supervisor Operations will ensure that the Works Safety Officers have sufficient resources to effectively carry out the duties and that all licencing and authorisations applicable are current.

An MOWP is a document which provides formal advice to the aviation industry and other involved parties, regarding the planned arrangements for the conduct of aerodrome works (other than time limited works). In particular, an MOWP advises of restrictions placed on aircraft operations and on the works organisation as a consequence of the works. The



Version: 1.4


General Manager Operations & Assets is responsible for ensuring the preparation and approval of a MOWP. The MOWP if required, is generally developed by the Airfield Manager.

The MOWP will include a drawing depicting chainages on the runway for a displaced threshold if required. This will include the equipment limit line (witches’ hats), the temporary runway end (red and white u/s cones) and the displaced threshold (marked by white ‘vees’) as required. The format for producing an MOWP can be found at MOS Part 139, Section 10.11. All work on airport facilities will be undertaken to the standard determined by MOS Part 139. When a work site interrupts an airside fence, temporary fencing shall be erected to restrict access to airside.

On the completion of works the Works Safety Officer will ensure that all operational areas are reinstated to the serviceability standards as specified in MOS Part 139, prior to declaring the areas available for aircraft operations. All pavements are to be free of foreign object debris (FOD). The Airfield Manager will ensure that the appropriate handover checklists have been completed prior to returning the facility to service.

The aircraft parking positions marked on the RPT apron at Sunshine Coast Airport (Appendix 1) include the following markings:

• Apron parking and taxiway markings

• Aircraft parking clearance lines

• RPT Parking bay designated numbers

• Maximum aircraft size designations After consultation with the airlines operating at the time of preparation of the plan, a design is prepared based on their operational requirements and the standards in MOS Part 139. An aviation specialist service provider with extensive knowledge of aircraft operations and blast protection requirements will generally prepare the design. Any plans prepared will also indicate what restrictions apply to each parking position by aircraft type. A review of the RPT parking layout will be instigated if circumstances, traffic density and/or aircraft types change. Itinerant aircraft require parking approval prior to operating at Sunshine Coast Airport. Details of itinerant aircraft parking approvals are recorded electronically.



Version: 1.4


(iii) the arrangements for initiating engine start and ensuring clearances for aircraft push-back

Pilots are responsible for ensuring adequate clearance during engine start-ups. Aircraft push-backs do not occur as all positions are currently free moving positions.

An aircraft ground running and test area is provided at Sunshine Coast Airport for GA operators. This area is located on Taxiway Echo (alternative run-up area is located at southern end of TWY Delta with prior approval from AD Operator). For RPT aircraft ground running tests are conducted either on the RPT apron or on the Runway end nodes of RWY 18/36.

Obstacle Control

Initial Issue: February 2006 Obstacle Control 108


Version: 1.4

Part 2 Section 12 Obstacle Control This section of the manual contains information on obstacles that may affect aircraft operations. The monitoring and ongoing protection of the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) is fundamental to ensuring safe aircraft operations and ensuring that Sunshine Coast Airport can be developed into the future. Particulars of the following:

(i) the procedures for monitoring the obstacle limitation surfaces and the Type A chart take-off surface for obstacles

SCA Pty Ltd. monitors the potential effect of the new structures on the airport Obstacle Limitation and PANS-OPS surfaces through its planning approval process. Any tall structures proposed within the Sunshine Coast Region are referred to the General Manager Operations & Assets or his delegate to assess whether they may affect aircraft operations. If it is possible that a structure may affect the departure and approach procedures or infringe the OLS or PANS-OPS surfaces for Sunshine Coast, the details are forwarded to the CASA and Airservices Australia (ASA) Instrument Procedure Design Section for assessment. Airport Safety Officers include a visual check for new obstacles in the approach/take-off and transitional surfaces during their daily inspections. The OLS will be checked by physical survey, on an annual basis, by a suitably qualified surveyor. The parameters for the OLS surfaces to be surveyed are included in Appendix 2. The results of the survey will be provided to the General Manager Operations & Assets and if amendments to published information are required, they will be notified to CASA and AIS by NOTAM. This notification will generally be undertaken by the General Manager Operations & Assets or the Airfield Manager. A record is maintained of all surveys and NOTAM advice in the Airport Operations Office area by the Airfield Manager.

The overall OLS plans for Sunshine Coast Airport are shown in Appendix 1 and Appendix 4. For any new tall structures or additions to existing tall structures in the OLS area, full details are requested including elevation in relation to the Australian Height Datum.

Temporary Obstacle Assessment Crane operations are assessed using the crane application form shown in Appendix 3. Any proposed activity likely to infringe the OLS is referred to Airservices Australia and CASA for assessment. Once assessed and if approved, NOTAM is issued as required accordingly. An Aerodrome Obstacle Chart Type A chart has been produced for Sunshine Coast Airport and can be reviewed on request. Type A chart notifications are issued through the Type A Chart distribution list, maintained by General Manager Operations & Assets or delegate.



Version: 1.4

(ii) the procedures for monitoring building developments (in relation to the height of buildings and other structures) within the horizontal limits of the obstacle limitation surfaces

SCA Pty Ltd. considers the potential effect on the obstacle limitation surfaces as part of its planning approval process. The obstacle limitation surfaces contour plan determines the height control for any development within a 15 kilometre radius of the airport. Planning applications, which are in the nominated OLS area, are referred to the General Manager Operations & Assets who determines whether the proposed structure will affect aerodrome operations. If the object is an industrial chimney, smoke stacks at power stations, smelters or combustion sources capable of generating exhaust plumes with an average vertical velocity exceeding the limiting value, (4.3 m/s at the height of the airport OLS), the proposal will be referred to CASA to assess the potential hazard to aircraft safety. Tall obstacles, which are in the Sunshine Coast but outside the OLS area, are also referred to the General Manager Operations & Assets. The Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) Plans are monitored and maintained by the General Manager Operations & Assets or his delegate. Any proposed activity (including crane operations and proposed building developments) that are likely to infringe OLS or PANS-OPS surfaces are forwarded to CASA and Airservices Australia (Instrument Procedure Assessment) for operational and aviation hazard assessment.

(iii) if the aerodrome has instrument approach procedures – the

procedures for monitoring for new objects or building developments in any other areas nominated by the instrument procedure designers

The General Manager Operations & Assets or his delegate will arrange for an annual reconnaissance of the areas covered by Airservices Australia procedure designs to ensure that no higher objects have been erected close to the critical obstacles listed in the Table associated with the plans provided by Airservices Australia. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority will also be notified of any new obstacles.

(iv) the arrangements between CASA, local planning authorities and other relevant organisations in relation to the approval of building developments that may infringe the obstacle limitation surfaces

The Sunshine Coast Regional Council is the local planning authority and through its Local Environment Plan controls all building developments. If development proposals appear to affect the OLS of the airport, CASA and Airservices Australia may be requested by the SCA Pty Ltd. General Manager Operations & Assets



Version: 1.4

or delegate to undertake an assessment of the proposed development to ascertain the impact on aircraft operations at Sunshine Coast Airport.

(v) the names, telephone numbers and roles of the persons responsible

for planning and implementing obstacle control

Particulars of the procedures for removing an aircraft that is disabled on or near the movement area, including details of the following:

(i) the roles of the aerodrome operator and the holder of the aircraft’s certificate of registration

SCA Pty Ltd. has prepared a Disabled Aircraft Recovery Strategy Plan which is published separately to the Aerodrome Manual and covers all aspects involved in the removal of a disabled aircraft from the movement area on the airport. The pilot is expected to have the authority of the holder of the aircraft's certificate of registration to immediately remove an aircraft that is obstructing operations on the movement area of the airport. The holder of the aircraft's certificate of registration is responsible for providing, by the fastest means possible, any special equipment that may be necessary to permit removal of a disabled aircraft. Removal of crashed aircraft is subject to the clearance of Air Traffic Safety Bureau (ATSB) and other investigating teams. The Directorate of Defence Aviation and Air Force Safety are responsible for any investigation following an accident involving an Australian Defence Force aircraft. The Aerodrome Emergency Plan, (Refer Part 2, Section 2 of this Manual), also details the responsibilities for removal of disabled aircraft.

The General Manager Operations & Assets or his delegate will ensure that a NOTAM and markings are initiated if required.

(ii) the arrangements for telling the holder of the certificate of registration

Initially the pilot of a disabled aircraft is expected to notify the holder of the aircraft's certificate of registration.

The person responsible for notification to the Certificate of Registration holder to remove the aircraft, if the pilot is not available, is the General Manager Operations & Assets. If the Certificate of Registration is not known to the General Manager Operations & Assets then details will be obtained from the pilot if possible or from the CASA web site:

http://casa.gov.au/casadata/register/index.htm

Part 2 Section 15 Protection of Radar and Navigational Aids

Particulars of the procedures for the protection of radar and navigational aids located on the aerodrome to ensure that their performance will not be degraded, including details of the following: (i) the arrangements for the control of activities near radar and navigational

aid installations

The following navigational aids are located within the Sunshine Coast Airport boundary area: • VHF Omni – Directional Radio Range Beacon • Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) • Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) • Automatic Weather Station

Unauthorised entry is not permitted into areas prescribed around navigation aids by MOS Part 139 Chapter 11. Restrictive signs have been placed by the ASA Airways Technical Services (Brisbane) at all navigational aid installations. To maintain obstacle clearance zones around navigational aids, positioning new buildings, masts or other structures near navigational aids is controlled by SCA Pty Ltd. management. Airservices Australia and CASA are consulted before any approvals are provided by SCA Pty Ltd to erect building, aerials, masts, etc. at or near the navigational aids.

Low Visibility Operations

Initial Issue: February 2006 Low Visibility Operations 129


Version: 1.4

Part 2 Section 16 Low Visibility Operations Particulars of the procedures for management of ground activities at Sunshine Coast Airport Sunshine Coast Airport facilities do not support aircraft operations (take-off and landing) in low visibility conditions. The Standard Operating Procedures referred to in in this manual are designed to enable the ASOs to secure the airfield and provide the necessary information to ATC. Refer: SCA Pty Ltd Standard Operating Procedures (SCAPL-SOP-014).

(i) During operating hours ATC determine and notify ASO if low visibility procedures (LVP) are to commence. The proceedings commence when visibility reduces to 1500 metres, runway visibility is 800 metres or less or the cloud ceiling is 200FT or less. Outside of ATC hours and if an ASO is on shift, the ASO will refer to SCAPL-SOP-014 as a guide only.

(ii) Airport tenants are to be notified at activation/termination of LVP. Any active worksites are stood down and all personnel vacated from airside. Unmanned gates remain locked and electronic gates immobilised. Essential vehicles are only be directed access under ASO escort.

(iii) A runway inspection will be undertaken, including taxiways and aprons to

ensure vehicles and work activities have been cleared. Confirmation of each cleared area confirmed via radio with ATC. The ASO will be stationed on the RPT Apron to monitor for vehicles/pedestrians. ASO will conduct full inspections of runways, taxiways and helicopter landing site once LVP terminated.

(iv) ATC will determine and activate LVP during ATC hours. ASO will notify the

General Manager Operations and Assets once notified by ATC. Contact details can be found in the Master Contact List in the Introduction Section of this manual.

Section 17

Local Procedures

Initial Issue: February 2006 Local Procedures 131


Version: 1.4

Part 2 Section 17 Local Procedures 1. Pavement Concessions A pavement concession is a privilege that may be granted to an aircraft operator allowing the landing, take-off, taxiing or parking of an aircraft on a runway, taxiway or apron, which would not otherwise be available.

It is an instrument of pavement management, enabling an aircraft operator to load an aircraft pavement beyond the rated capacity under specific conditions generally related to aircraft tyre pressure, mass and frequency of operations and the condition of the pavement.

Airport management is responsible for determining in each case whether a pavement concession is to be granted and any special conditions applicable. Additional landing fees may be charged. There is no mandatory requirement for the Airport operator to grant a pavement concession.

In normal circumstances, a pavement concession allows the airport operator to gain the benefit of occasional heavier/larger aircraft operations on pavements of lesser design standard without significant cost outlay or reduction in pavement life. A pavement concession is based on economic considerations. Airport management will weigh the advantage to be derived from allowing some pavement overload , against the penalties involved (e.g. pavement repair or the need to carry out maintenance earlier than would be normal) and decide accordingly.

To identify the strength of pavements, the Aircraft Classification Number – Pavement Classification Number (ACN-PCN) method is used. The pavement strength rating (PCN) for Sunshine Coast Airport is listed in the ERSA. Operations by aircraft imposing more severe loadings on the pavement than are allowed by the pavement rating are not permitted without a pavement concession.

The handling and issue of pavement concessions is to be in accordance with the procedures set out below.

2. Concession Decision Criteria Aircraft operators apply to the airport operator for consideration of a pavement concession, providing full details of the proposed movement(s). Each application from an operator for an aircraft to operate outside the limits allowed by a pavement rating involves assessment on a case by case basis.

To ensure the safety of the operation where the proposed overloading of a pavement is so great that damage to the aircraft is likely to the extent that the safety of the occupants is in doubt, a pavement concession is not to be approved regardless of the circumstances.



Version: 1.4

3. Granting Pavement Concessions Approvals can be granted by the General Manager Operations & Assets, the Chief Executive Officer or their delegates. Operators are advised if a pavement concession is granted and any conditions imposed. ATC is also advised. An approval may take the form of an AD HOC or standing pavement concession:

(1) AD HOC The “ad hoc” pavement concession is to be used to cover a small number

of operations and issued on a flight by flight basis, or covering several flights on the one concession.

(2) STANDING The “standing” pavement concessions are to be used to cover a relatively

large number of operations carried out over an extended period. They allow a specified number of movements over a fixed period.

(3) SCHEDULED PERIOD The “scheduled period” pavement concession is to be issued to airlines

to provide a pavement concession for the whole of the duration of the schedule period.

(4) ADVISORY The “advisory” pavement concession is to be used, in response to

requests for pavement concessions at some future but unspecified date. The request is actioned, but issue of the pavement concession is delayed pending advice of the actual date from the operator.
